2022 Harrison, 'Black Hound' Syrah

$40.00

This Syrah hails from the cool Adelaide Hills region, sourced from the nearby Murdoch Hill vineyard in Oakbank. 60% whole bunch fermentation with minimal hand plunging, before being are aged for 9 months in seasoned French oak. With a spicy and elevated aroma, this Syrah bursts onto the palate, boasting rich dark berries, tangy olive tapenade, and a peppery gamey taste, all enveloped by a strong, lengthy finish of powdery tannins. Decadent hedonism dressed up as a nonchalant party boy.

Harrison Wines

Harrison Wines challenges tradition. Riley Harrison's escape from the nine-to-five grind led him to create his vision in 2015, starting with a ton of Grenache. Passionate about perfume, texture, and drinkability, he sourced fruit from the Adelaide Hills, McLaren Vale, and Barossa Valley. With a focus on fruit quality and varietal expression, Riley balances conventional and minimal-intervention winemaking. His dedication to detail produces creatively vibrant wines, making this journey a fulfilling exploration of flavor that keeps him away from a typical office job.
